-16.11 °C

Step-by-Step Calculation

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

Start with 3°F
Subtract 32: 3 - 32 = -29
Multiply by 5/9: -29 × 0.5556 = -16.11
Result: 3°F = -16.11°C

Quick Mental Conversion

For a rough estimate, subtract 30 then halve. For example, 3 °F: minus 30 is -27, halved is -13.5. The exact answer is -16.11 °C.
